wants to be at BYU, works hard, never gives up, won 11 games as a starter this year, and gave BYU positive PR in the national media spotlight all year is a bad recruiting job by Roderick?

Good grief. ARod's playcalling is great! And FTR, in between jobs at Utah/BYU,

He’s ok.Not sure I’d say great.Which OC would CB like him to learn from?

The moral is, recruit smart/teachable players. After a certain level of athleticism/size, smarts are more important.

Sounds like CB would like him to keep getting tips from Ludwig

He's doing well as the OC. Critics have unrealistic expectations of an OC

Sure. I agree. But my point is, he can grow and training will speed growth.

Dr MoBYU

12/29/24 9:24pm

Do you really think he doesn't do that?

Yeah, someone should alert the college football coaching profession about this

You read a lot into things. Anyway, which clinics does he go to? I’m am

I don't fault Arod for his playcalling.

Again he's a great coach and that's his reason for his success.

If I were a betting man, I’d bet that he’ll get one eventually. Probably sooner

Polecat

That's what has made it so frustrating to see our QB room look the way it does

ARod convinced Slovis to come to BYU--9th ranked QB in the portal that year.

You have not answered my questions. You are avoiding actually answering.
